About this map

Battle Creek Lakes and the deep incisions of Battle Cr define this high-desert environment in Owyhee County. The landscape is marked by a complex system of water management and named draws, including Cottonwood Draw and Freshwater Draw, which drain the surrounding plateaus. Ranching and land use are evident through the presence of features like Kelly Park and the distinctively named Dickshooter Ridge.

Uplands such as Squaw Meadows are modified by the Squaw Meadows Reservoir Number Two and Squaw Meadows Reservoir Number Three, highlighting the necessity of water storage in this arid region. The drainage network is further supported by Dickshooter Cr and isolated water sources like Willow Spring. This map provides a detailed view of the cadastral and topographic layout of the area as it existed in the early 21st century.
